Posted on 21/08/2014
Finding the right SW19 house movers can be a little tricky for the first time movers. Mostly because you are vulnerable to making many mistakes as you are unaware of the many ‘subtleties’ involved. There are a lot of things to consider. There are a number of questions that you can ask at this point. You must ask yourself what your expectations and moving needs are. Then having a clear idea of your stuff that is to be moved and the amount of help that you would require and may be expecting from your moving company Wimbledon should be clarified upon. Your budget is important too.
The most common and ‘successful’ advice that you can find on moving is to start early. It will allow you to do things at a comfortable pace and will make everything more organized and manageable for you. Friends and acquaintances that have hired movers in the past can give you valuable advice. References can be useful. Nonetheless, doing your own research and making yourself aware of the basics of moving is paramount. Looking up the internet, yellow pages, brochures, etc. would give you a good idea of how things are with SW19 movers. Write down all the firms (their names and basic particulars) that you find suitable as per your needs. Eventually you will end up with a short list of the names and details of various movers. Now you can filter more by asking the right questions about/from the moving firm(s) and finding the correct answers. To start with, you must know that the person you are dealing with, whether they are brokers or directly representing the Wimbledon moving firm/movers. It is important for a number of reasons. Even though, brokers may be able to provide you with a lot of help and right information, they are limited in the sense that they are usually not able to give you a correct binding quote, nor can they be responsible for your loss and/or damage during the move.
Now when you get a quote make sure whether it is a binding quote or not, and how much does it cover in terms of additional or miscellaneous charges like long distance charges, fuel charges, parking charges, special/odd items removal charges, storage charges, etc. You shall be extra cautious with long distance moves/movers, because these moves sometimes include transferring your stuff to another vehicle. This extra handling increases the chances of your goods suffering from (mis)handling damage. Depending on your move and inventory, insurance details can become very important to sort out properly before the move. There are three kinds of protection provided for your goods in instances of damaged or lost items. First one is limited liability which provides you with a basic coverage plan.
This coverage is usually required by the law and your goods are insured against a certain amount for each pound of weight. The second kind of insurance is ‘added valuation’. This provides coverage for the current value of your goods subtracting the depreciation value. The third and most costly insurance here is ‘full value’ insurance. It covers the actual value of your items without subtracting the depreciation amount. Whatever insurance type you choose, you can call your own insurance company and compare the prices of the insurance being offered by you movers. This will allow you to select the right insurance company along with the right insurance coverage plan. Another important aspect of moving that you should sort out with your moving firm is as to who would be responsible if some goods were to break or be lost during the move. Furthermore, inquire about whether they would be able to keep their appointment in cases of bad weather or bad traffic, and what if the van/truck breaks down, etc. And finally, when you meet or visit them, their professionalism and attentiveness to you would let you know that you have found the right SW19 house movers.
